Lauren G
Effective tutor
My name is Lauren. I am a current Master's student studying Criminology. I have tutored in GCSE and A-level Geography before online. My then student and I went through his weaker topics a few times. This made sure he was as comfortable and confident as he could be when it came to sitting the exam. I have also tutored in GCSE English; although I don’t offer that service anymore, I similarly approach the teaching. For example, we would discuss relevant quotations and language techniques. Again, focusing on weaker parts at stages, I did make sure to cover as much as possible with both students. T...

Su A
Su helped me massively in a very quick time period, only 2 months before exams. I was confident with my knowledge of key processes and the content but my exam technique was very poor and i was often getting grades around the D mark. Su made sure i understood how to answer each type of question and made me understand that knowledge is credited very poorly and to achieve higher marks its the analysis and evaluation which allow you to get into those higher bands. Ultimately this led to me getting a B in my exam which I’m very happy with.

Jessica E
When we started maths tutor sessions with Jessica my son was in year 10, he will be starting year 11 in September, she really has been a great help for him. He has commented that she has explained concepts behind maths problems which had really helped his understanding when he did not fully grasp it in lessons at school. I would recommend Jessica for extra support if you were thinking of getting tutoring sessions for your child, she is friendly, professional and punctual, thank you !
